MICROBE-LIFT BMC Biological Mosquito Control, Liquid Treatment for Medium-Sized Decorative Water Gardens Up to 2,000 Gallons, Fountains and Ponds, 2 Fluid Ounces

Absolutely a key item in my pest control arsenal! I ended up with some contaminated potting soil, did not know any better, got an infestation of fungus gnats. I tried tons of stuff, natural remedies, some chemicals, even mosquito bits. Come to find out, it was that new bag of soil I had stored... smh... So after finding the main source, it was time to try to deal with the affected plants (Everything?!?!), and that is where all my real problems came about. I could not get rid of them. Ended up killing off a bunch of stuff, trashing the entire set up. It happened again, but I caught it and this is when this product came into play. Very soon after I started using this (and yellow sticky traps), I noticed a reduction within days. And now, I very rarely see a bug and even if I do, I am confident they will not be hatching any eggs and I will likely catch the adults on a trap or with my spray. The problem is pretty much nonexistent. I am so confident in this product I started using it outside too. Things to keep in mind... It works really well and is super concentrated. It does not take much to get the job done. I found out later I had been overusing it, smh. I have some plants using wicking ropes. I simply add a small drop of this to each of the water containers and it seems to be able to wick up just fine and soak into the pots... As far as small-time use, lol. This is a great value considering how much you actually should be using verse how much you get. Amazing grab! I am not sure yet if this stands when you scale up, but for a home gardener or someone with just a few plants, this is totally worth every penny. A drop per gallon basically, com'on, unreal! and that may even still be overusing it, lbvs. Internet says it won't kill the worms!!!! I totally recommend this product and will be faithfully using it for most thing related, where possible.

I’m so glad I found this product! I originally bought MICROBE-LIFT BMC to help with a fruit fly infestation that came from a plant I brought home. I used it right away, mixed up 2 tablespoons of product, to 2 gallons of water then watered my plants like normal. I started noticing a difference very quickly. Between this product and the yellow stickies, the flies were drastically reduced within just a couple of days. I really appreciate that it’s a biological solution, not a harsh chemical spray. It feels much safer to use around my home and plants. The directions were easy to follow, and a little bit goes a long way, which makes it great value for the price!! If you’re dealing with mosquitoes, fruit flies, or any other insects, especially your plants, I highly recommend giving this a try — it’s effective, gentle, and works exactly as described! I highly recommend!!

I recently put down some peat moss in my yard to get some organic material into the very clay based soil. This caused a fungus gnat population problem that was quite severe. One application of this product stopped the problem cold, within a couple of days, it was very impressive. I used about 30ml to a gallon of water. I've seen some people say they user just a few drops per gallon but I think that is grossly underdosing it. Even at 30ml per gallon and assuming 3 weekly doses are needed this bottle should last 2-3 years. From what I read it's quite safe for humans and pets but following the safety precautions is obviously important. It probably helps to apply it with a sprayer and then very lightly water it in, no runoff. I did my second weekly application even though I don't think I needed to. The first application completely eliminated every fungus gnat. It's rare that any pesticide is so effective on the very first try.

I had fungus gnats from my new house plants. Nothing worked to control them, I tried hydrogen peroxide, to kill the grubs, baking powder to kill the fungus, and layers of sand to prevent them from escaping the soil. They kept coming until I tried this. Before, the gnats were all over the house even though the plants are all in one room by the same window. I would have a layer of dead gnats on the floor by the window within a few days every time I watered them, so I avoided watering my plants as much as possible. I used it on my house plants (diluted 1 drop in 250ml water, and use 1 drop of diluted solution per 1.5 gal water on plants.) It’s very concentrated, meant to use a small amount on a large water feature so I dilute it. I combined this with sticky traps at the affected plants and had no issues with noticing fungus gnats. There were some that got on the traps, but it was a bad infestation and it was far fewer than before. I didn’t even see any in the house, and they didn’t make it to the traps even a few plants over.

I’ve been using MICROBE-LIFT BMC2 Biological Mosquito Control in my backyard pond and small fountain, and I’m genuinely impressed with the results. Within a couple of days of applying it, the mosquito larvae were completely gone—and they haven’t come back since I started treating regularly. What I really appreciate is that it’s a biological solution, using a strain of *Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis* (BTI), which specifically targets mosquito larvae without harming fish, birds, plants, pets, or beneficial insects. That peace of mind is important to me, especially since I have koi and some visiting pollinators near the water. Application is super easy: just a few drops based on the water volume, and you’re good to go. One bottle lasts a long time, making it very cost-effective. There's no odor, no mess, and no disruption to the ecosystem—just fewer mosquitoes.

After trying various methods of eradicating fungus gnats on my houseplants, including mosquito bits, which did nothing, and hydrogen peroxide, which worked at first but not for long, I saw a recommendation for this. The first time I used it I put new yellow sticky traps in all my plant pots to monitor the gnats. Three weeks later they were still all clean, absolutely zero gnats on them. I thought it was the stickies not working. But I haven't seen any of the annoying little blighters since that first treatment. Well worth the price as one drop diluted in water did my whole collection twice. Great stuff.

You won't beat this.. I had a bad gnat problem 6 drops of this in 8L water.. literally the next day gone, I could only see one hanging on for dear life... Now! nothing..

I read reviews so I thought it would be the best thing for house plant flies (fungus gnats) so I tried it and it did nothing to kill the tiny worm-like larvae that turn into the gnats.
